First question.

Taxi Drivers emissions light keeps coming on, what do you do.

1) Ignore it
2) Take the bulb out
3) Take it to the dealer, and let him put yet another ECU on.
4) Get them to change the cam sensor
5) Your own idea to the problem.

I wish! Sorry Doug but just couldn't get any further despite all the help. I guess it's gonna have to have another visit to my friendly garage :-[ Either that or wait until Santa Pod and see if any of you guys can shed any light on it.

Of course the real answer is to realise that the LPG controller is pretty basic and doesn't monitor emissions via both lambda sensors and hence the ECU, which is being fooled into thinking its in control but isn't, flags a code because the mixture is not spot on.
